Looking for recommendations for somewhere to take the family this weekend. Somewhere casual where the kids can be kids, not too expensive. We usually hit up Five Guys but want to try something new. What's your go to spot?
Check out the local spots on Google Maps with the family reviews. Usually the places that are casual and kid-friendly will have good feedback. What kind of burger place are you thinking, more dive bar or family style?
What kind of burger are you in the mood for? Classic diner style or something fancier? That changes my recommendation pretty quick.
Depends what town you're in but honestly any place with good food and a chill vibe works for us. The best burger spot is usually wherever the kids will sit still long enough to eat it without causing chaos.
We usually look for somewhere with a good kids menu but not overly theme-parky if that makes sense. A place where you can actually eat while they eat. Family vibes matter more than the burger sometimes.
There's this place called The Flip Side near downtown that's perfect for families. They have a kids menu and the burgers are legit. Fair warning though, everything gets messy which is basically the dad experience anyway.
Depends what part of town you're in but we always have good luck with places that have a patio. Kids can run around a bit while the food is coming. Makes the whole experience easier.
If you want something more casual, I'd check out Local Burger Co. We take ours there pretty regularly on Saturdays and they're cool about the noise level. Plus their fries are amazing.

Depends on where you're at but we always look for places with outdoor seating if possible so the kids can move around a bit while we eat. Makes the whole experience less stressful.
